JET
Twenty-eight-year-old Jet was once the Mossad's most lethal operative before faking her own death and burying that identity forever. But the past doesn't give up on its secrets easily.
[has been on the top 100 free list for a couple of days and previously.]
SECTOR C
A rise in stroke-like cases has CDC analyst Mike Shafer on alert. Patients in every demographic in the Great Plains area, from toddlers to healthy adults to the elderly, are succumbing to rapid deterioration - and death
[was on yesterday's list too.]
The Dark Communion (The Midnight Defenders)
When Daddy, Gramps, drunk Uncle Billy…whoever it was, looked at you when you were a little kid, blankets around your neck, trembling in bed, sure-as-shit convinced that there was something out to get you under your box-spring, in your closet, and they told you there wasn’t anything there – that monsters didn’t exist – they were lying to you.
Jono Swyftt knows this because that’s what he does. He kills things. Bad things. Nightmare things: Orcs, trolls, haunts, gnomes…the bloody Easter Bunny.
Swyftt was a copper, a priest, a Night Hunter, a husband, a father. Now he’s just a burnt-out PI with an arsenal of big-ass guns – an unrepentant foul-mouth who keeps everyone at arms length – and yet, whether your problem is a mating orgy of Cyclopes, a murderous imaginary friend, or a strip club full of horny Sirens, everyone from US Senators to Julia Roberts knows he’s the one man to call. When a high-school student hires him to find a missing autistic boy and a catatonic billionaire runs away from a nursing home, it’s up to Swyftt, his partner, and his ward to piece together the clues and stop the nightmare that’s feeding on the city with an underground ring of serial-kidnapping bums. But that’s what Swyftt does. He’s the very last line of paranormal defense in the greater Seattle area.
And he ain’t bloody cheap.

Honour and Glory - The Battle for Saxony
Like a bloody storm, Charlemagne’s armies ravage early medieval Europe, leaving devastation and misery in their wake. They have subdued the kingdom of the Langobards, defeated the duchy of Bavaria; they threaten the Moors in the west and, in the south, the pope in Rome.
[Note: this book appears to be a re-titled version of a book I read once before and gave 3 stars to. The author seems to have changed his pen name as well.
Blood and Honour - The Battle for Saxony (A Historical Novel Set in the Dark Ages)]
Dawn of the Tiger
In 2034, Australia's shores will be breached, its resources hijacked and citizens held hostage.
As dawn breaks on the Chinese New Year, a flotilla of Chinese warships is poised to strike an unsuspecting Australia. China's intention is to secure Australia's enormous mineral and energy resources to fuel its relentless economy and stamp its primacy on the Pacific.
Amidst widespread panic and political turmoil, a young Sydneysider, Finn Hunt, becomes involved in a massive US-Australian guerrilla operation to repel the Chinese invaders. His journey takes him to the heart of The Outback where he is subjected to desert warfare, enemy capture and the harshest physical conditions. His faith, resolve and sheer will to survive will be tested.
Dawn of the Tiger is based on current political and strategic events in the Asia Pacific region. As China continues to grow and the US military "pivots" from the Middle East to Asia, the future of the Pacific is yet to truly dawn.

Desperate Times
Imagine waking up to the horrific news of an economic cataclysm. Around the globe, investors have panicked and the markets are on the verge of collapse. The unthinkable has happened. There is a run on the banks and the dollar is in a free-fall. With time running out, you rush out the door and try to prepare for the worst-case scenario; only to learn that hyperinflation has arrived and prices have already begun to skyrocket. This is the sad beginning of Desperate Times.
The tale is told through the eyes of an average Joe, Jimmy Logan. Jimmy’s employer, Ken Dahlgren, is waiting for him at the time-clock as he arrives for work. Jimmy is blissfully unaware of what is happening in the outside world, but Ken orders him into his office and gives him the bone-chilling news. Ken and his wife, Patty, own a lake home in northern Minnesota. For years, Ken and Patty have secretly prepared their northern retreat for this looming crisis. Ken invites Jimmy and his live-in girlfriend, Paula, to join a select group of close friends to ride out the storm. After quickly explaining his plan to Jimmy, Ken hands him an envelope filled with cash and the keys to the company truck. He then orders Jimmy to head into Saint Cloud and buy whatever he can lay his hands on. He allows Jimmy enough time to make a quick pit-stop at his trailer home, to explain the situation to Paula and for the two of them to pack their clothes, just as fast as they can.

The zombie apocalypse meets World War One in this exciting prequel story to BY THE BLOOD OF HEROES, book one in the Great Undead War series!
March 1921. The War to End All Wars continues, with no foreseeable end in sight. The Central Powers control most of Europe, with only a thin stretch of French coastline still in Allied hands.

But, when the war is over, is the worst yet to come?

It's 2018 and Tori's managing. Okay, so London is under twenty metres of snow, almost everybody has died in a pandemic or been airlifted south, and the only animals around are rats. Plus her boyfriend never returned from going to find his parents a year ago when the snow began - but she's doing fine. Really. She lives in an apartment that's luxurious, if short on amenities, in a block which used to be home to rich City bankers. A handful of fellow survivors are her friends, and together they forage for food and firewood, have parties once a month and even run a book club.

SEALed Justice - Book One Of The Jason Turner Saga
What if you were a Navy SEAL Commander on a top secret mission when you and your six man team were ambushed because of a leak---a mission only the President and six other people knew about? What do you say when a complete stranger walks into your hospital room and tells you a family secret that's been kept from you since birth? How would you handle the knowledge that five dead SEAL's, your best friends, were just collateral damage because someone wanted you dead?
Stripped of Innocence
“We were located in a DMZ (demilitarized zone) at the 38th parallel. The military is all about acronyms. Marches could be up to 20 miles over difficult terrain to move to a new position. Our weapons included the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and shortly after the M1 Garand. The BAR was replaced because it would freeze up in the wintery climate. You would have to piss on the receiver group so it would thaw enough to fire. The M1 Garand, also a .30 caliber weapon, had a clip that held 8 rounds of ammunition. After firing the last round, the clip would pop out with the distinct sound, “Ching!” The enemy would listen for it and then charge. If you were smart, you had another loaded rifle right next to you ready to go.”
[I downloaded this earlier today and read it at lunch time. A short story that really has little to do with Korea as the snippet might lead one to believe. A moderately depressing yet compelling tale. It only took about 15 minutes for me to read it. I gave it 4 stars.]

To prepare for an upcoming rocket launch, North Korea wants advanced missile technology and has come up with a plan to get it - from the United States!
Set in North Korea and Washington DC, Pyongyang's Recruit is the story of espionage, sex, and betrayal.

Sara saves lives, but she never took the Hippocratic Oath. She practices medicine with her own ethics and rules.
A sociopathic bank clerk changes Sara’s life. A weekend of drinking convinces them to get married and have children. Their two daughters are not enrolled in school. They are raised outside society, without punishments or rules.
Sara’s precocious daughters want her to dissect a living person in the bathroom. Will she do it?
1632 (Ring of Fire)
"The Ultimate Y2K Glitch....
1632 In the year 1632 in northern Germany a reasonable person might conclude that things couldn't get much worse. There was no food. Disease was rampant. For over a decade religious war had ravaged the land and the people. Catholic and Protestant armies marched and countermarched across the northern plains, laying waste the cities and slaughtering everywhere. In many rural areas population plummeted toward zero. Only the aristocrats remained relatively unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy.
2000 Things are going OK in Grantville, West Virginia. The mines are working, the buck are plentiful (it's deer season) and everybody attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire membership of the local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America, which Mike leads) is having a good time.
THEN, EVERYTHING CHANGED....
When the dust settles, Mike leads a small group of armed miners to find out what's going on. Out past the edge of town Grantville's asphalt road is cut, as with a sword. On the other side, a scene out of Hell; a man nailed to a farmhouse door, his wife and daughter Iying screaming in muck at the center of a ring of attentive men in steel vests. Faced with this, Mike and his friends don't have to ask who to shoot.
At that moment Freedom and Justice, American style, are introduced to the middle of The Thirty Years War.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management)."

How would you handle the knowledge that five dead SEAL's, your best friends, were just collateral damage because someone wanted you dead?
Stripped of Innocence
“We were located in a DMZ (demilitarized zone) at the 38th parallel. The military is all about acronyms. Marches could be up to 20 miles over difficult terrain to move to a new position. Our weapons included the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and shortly after the M1 Garand. The BAR was replaced because it would freeze up in the wintery climate. You would have to piss on the receiver group so it would thaw enough to fire. The M1 Garand, also a .30 caliber weapon, had a clip that held 8 rounds of ammunition. After firing the last round, the clip would pop out with the distinct sound, “Ching!” The enemy would listen for it and then charge. If you were smart, you had another loaded rifle right next to you ready to go.”
[I downloaded this earlier today and read it at lunch time. A short story that really has little to do with Korea as the snippet might lead one to believe. A moderately depressing yet compelling tale. It only took about 15 minutes for me to read it. I gave it 4 stars.]
Pyongyang's Recruit
To prepare for an upcoming rocket launch, North Korea wants advanced missile technology and has come up with a plan to get it - from the United States!
Set in North Korea and Washington DC, Pyongyang's Recruit is the story of espionage, sex, and betrayal.
Sociopathic Surgeon
Surgeons must be smart, not sane. Sara is a sociopathic surgeon.
Sara lies on medical charts, trades prescriptions for favors. She abuses nurses, lawyers and “Doctors” who did not graduate from an American medical school.
Sara saves lives, but she never took the Hippocratic Oath. She practices medicine with her own ethics and rules.
A sociopathic bank clerk changes Sara’s life. A weekend of drinking convinces them to get married and have children. Their two daughters are not enrolled in school. They are raised outside society, without punishments or rules.
Sara’s precocious daughters want her to dissect a living person in the bathroom. Will she do it?
1632 (Ring of Fire)
"The Ultimate Y2K Glitch....
1632 In the year 1632 in northern Germany a reasonable person might conclude that things couldn't get much worse. There was no food. Disease was rampant. For over a decade religious war had ravaged the land and the people. Catholic and Protestant armies marched and countermarched across the northern plains, laying waste the cities and slaughtering everywhere. In many rural areas population plummeted toward zero. Only the aristocrats remained relatively unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy.
2000 Things are going OK in Grantville, West Virginia. The mines are working, the buck are plentiful (it's deer season) and everybody attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire membership of the local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America, which Mike leads) is having a good time.
THEN, EVERYTHING CHANGED....
When the dust settles, Mike leads a small group of armed miners to find out what's going on. Out past the edge of town Grantville's asphalt road is cut, as with a sword. On the other side, a scene out of Hell; a man nailed to a farmhouse door, his wife and daughter Iying screaming in muck at the center of a ring of attentive men in steel vests. Faced with this, Mike and his friends don't have to ask who to shoot.
At that moment Freedom and Justice, American style, are introduced to the middle of The Thirty Years War.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management)."
[This is a great book and a very good start to the series. I have purchased all of the books in this series. I would rate them all as 4 and 5 star books except for one that was sort of mediocre.]

Jake Clevenger, a low-life attorney with nothing to lose and a terminal disease, decides to take out a bunch of other bad guys on his way out rather than waste away. "Pissed Off" is a tale of violent revenge against those who richly deserve it but always seem to get away with a slap on the wrist.

FASCISM IN ROMANIA 1918-1944
Why was there fascism in inter-war Europe? There was no "fascism" anywhere before the end of the First World War. The aim of this short book is to summarise the historical origins as to why there was "Fascism in Romania 1918-1944" and to give a concise account of the various extreme right wing movements that developed. In this fascinating book, Romania's unique brand of fascism is explained.

Four Americans, including three U.S. citizens, lost their lives. BETRAYAL recounts how back door politics, failed negotiations and a “mix-up” in communications at NORAD allowed Cuba to murder American citizens.

Wilma and I were headed out for a nice hike in the woods.
I got about 20 feet from the car and hit a patch of ice and went down. I was unharmed but my pants got pretty damp and as it was fairly cold I decided it was best to just go home.
So home we went.

Walmart Faded Glory Big Men's Packable Windbreaker
Been looking for a small, lightweight, water proof hooded jacket. They are very pricey. I happened to run across this the other day and ordered one.
Walmart Faded Glory Big Men's Packable Windbreaker
It came in the mail yesterday. At first I did not like it much. The polyester jacket seemed cheap and the elastic gathers at the hood and cuffs did not seem to tighten down as much as I might like. But I took it out snow blowing. I got a lot of snow on it. The thing worked like a charm. I was not wet. My pants got a little damp, but I was perfectly dry from the waist up. The elastic gathers around the hood and cuffs while they did not tighten down as much as I would have liked at first, actually worked pretty well. I bought one a size larger so I could put it over a jacket as that is how I intend to use it some times. It seems true to size. For $13 and change delivered, I think it is a deal.
They have them in regular sizes as well.
Walmart Faded Glory Men's Packable Windbreaker
I have not had a chance to wear it a lot, so I don't know how durable it will be, but it seems reasonably durable. Well stitched.
I ran water over a sleeve for a few minutes to test the waterproofness. The elastic gathers dampened up some, but no water went through the sleeve.
It came with a small stuff sack.
I got a gray one. They come in several colors.

Wilma wanted in on the action. The jacket easily fits in the stuff sack. The draw string is an elastic bungee type cord. Not real fond of them. I might replace the cord with something else if it annoys me enough.

I was asked what it weighs. I weighed it on my kitchen scale. About 9 ounces including the stuff sack.

The 12 Essential Low Carb Cooking Skills: Plus, 49 Simple, Scrumptious Low Carb Diet Recipes
Eating low carb is an exercise in trade-offs. On one hand, powerful science and millions of success stories attest to the amazing fat loss and health benefits of low carb diets, like Atkins and Protein Power. Indeed, carbohydrate restriction may just be a silver bullet capable of preventing or reversing dozens of diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and even cancer. On the other hand, cutting carbs kinda sucks! :) Admit it. All our favorite treats are carb-filled: donuts, cakes, piping hot oven fresh bread, etc. These foods are not only scrumptious, but they're also superabundant, cheap and easy to prepare. * Going "low carb" means you may have to give up these cherished foods, perhaps forever. Yikes! * What's more, eating healthy "real" foods, like fresh meat and non-starchy vegetables, can be waaaaay more expensive than eating cheap processed carbage. * Preparing such meals can be also confusing, messy, and even dangerous, if you don't know your way around the kitchen. If you're on Atkins or the Paleo diet or any other carbohydrate controlled plan, you probably can relate. People react differently to this challenge. [was on my list yesterday.]

Crooked River Forest Preserve 02-17-13
This forest preserve is across the street from the Pecatonica Road entrance to Pecatonica Wetlands FP.
Wilma and I passed though the parking lot on our way home from our hike at Pecatonica Wetlands.
Not much there. A sign, small parking lot (maybe space for 2 or 3 cars), and three picnic tables. One table is up on a berm, maybe sort of a perch for bird watching.
The FP web site does not have a map of this site. Not much need I guess given there is not much there other then 200+ acres of wet weeds.
ETA 2-19-13 I clipped this out of the county wide map the district has.

2013_02_17 Pecatonica Wetlands Forest Preserve
Wilma and I have been to this FP several times. The last few times it was on the south side of the river. It has been several years since we were on the north side. We mostly hiked the snow mobile trail, with a short detour onto the hiking trail.
Lots of ice on the trails made for slow going.
Did not see much in the way of critters. A few geese and one squirrel. Did see some deer tracks in the snow on the hiking trail segment we walked.

Free Kindle Books 2-17-13
I thought I would post some free Kindle books. maybe I will do it on a regular basis. These mostly came from the top 100 free Kindle books for today. I have not read any of them so know little about them. Most were on yesterday's top 100 free list as well. Most have a fair number of 4 and 5 star reviews.

Jim Mann is a homebody. While he trades grain commodities out of his house in a western suburb of Minneapolis, he spends most of his time helping his neighbors. If they ask, he helps. If they don’t ask, he offers. Everyone on Barbosa Street thinks of him as Handy. It would have been a peaceful life if he hadn’t trusted his neighbors. If he hadn’t traded home repair work for Bo Stinson’s accounting expertise. If he hadn’t fallen for Gustav Olson’s long-lost daughter. If he hadn’t, in true DIY stubbornness, tried to do it all himself. Dead Blow Hammer tells the story of how one misstep—in this case, the first step on the stairway to Angie Stinson’s bedroom—drew Handy Mann into a life-or-death struggle with evil he never imagined could be so close at hand, a struggle he will need every tool in his toolbox to survive.

The chase will lead all the way downstream to the Gulf of California in a cat and mouse game where the stakes are high and the potential for destruction is enormous.

What Zombies Fear
When Victor Tookes went to work that beautiful spring day, he never expected to see a man eaten alive in the street in front of his office. After convincing himself that they really were zombies, he makes a trip from his house in Pennsylvania to his family home in Virginia, battling zombies all the way. His three and a half year old son was bitten on the leg, but doesn't turn into a zombie. Instead, he turns into something more than human. Victor quickly discovers that everything he knew about zombies was wrong. Not all of them were mindless, uncoordinated, rotting ghouls; some of them were bigger, faster, stronger or smarter than when they were human. A small percentage of humans are genetically immune to the parasite. Instead of turning these humans into mindless shamblers, they gain enhanced abilities. These new abilities will be pushed to their limits in their quest to carve out a safe haven to call home.
Lucifer's Pocket
It's New Years Eve in Times Square when Alex Marshall suddenly finds himself alone. He's the only one of millions gathered there who is moving; the rest of whom are all in some kind of trance. Shortly he is found by the Underground Society who removes him from New York and takes him to their base in North Carolina. In the next couple of hours he discovers that the world he thought he was living in is a deception. Who really is controlling the world? "They're the true embodiment of evil itself--as vicious and obvious as hydras if they have a knife in your back, as desperate and pathetically cowardly when they're cornered, and as friendly as anybody you would ever meet face to face, when they think you have power over them. Many of them are very intelligent and exceedingly clever and cunning in their own fashion. They're masterful liars, totally without peer or conscience. They're completely ruthless when it comes to executing their designs, as well as incredibly patient and intelligent in waiting for and recognizing the right time to make their strike." Built from the Bible story about The Tower of Babel this is an Orwell style science fiction techno thriller with a very slight twist of philosophy.

Dead Blow Hammer (A Handy Mann Novel)
Jim Mann is a homebody. While he trades grain commodities out of his house in a western suburb of Minneapolis, he spends most of his time helping his neighbors. If they ask, he helps. If they don’t ask, he offers. Everyone on Barbosa Street thinks of him as Handy. It would have been a peaceful life if he hadn’t trusted his neighbors. If he hadn’t traded home repair work for Bo Stinson’s accounting expertise. If he hadn’t fallen for Gustav Olson’s long-lost daughter. If he hadn’t, in true DIY stubbornness, tried to do it all himself. Dead Blow Hammer tells the story of how one misstep—in this case, the first step on the stairway to Angie Stinson’s bedroom—drew Handy Mann into a life-or-death struggle with evil he never imagined could be so close at hand, a struggle he will need every tool in his toolbox to survive.

What Zombies Fear
When Victor Tookes went to work that beautiful spring day, he never expected to see a man eaten alive in the street in front of his office. After convincing himself that they really were zombies, he makes a trip from his house in Pennsylvania to his family home in Virginia, battling zombies all the way. His three and a half year old son was bitten on the leg, but doesn't turn into a zombie. Instead, he turns into something more than human. Victor quickly discovers that everything he knew about zombies was wrong. Not all of them were mindless, uncoordinated, rotting ghouls; some of them were bigger, faster, stronger or smarter than when they were human. A small percentage of humans are genetically immune to the parasite. Instead of turning these humans into mindless shamblers, they gain enhanced abilities. These new abilities will be pushed to their limits in their quest to carve out a safe haven to call home.
Lucifer's Pocket
It's New Years Eve in Times Square when Alex Marshall suddenly finds himself alone. He's the only one of millions gathered there who is moving; the rest of whom are all in some kind of trance. Shortly he is found by the Underground Society who removes him from New York and takes him to their base in North Carolina. In the next couple of hours he discovers that the world he thought he was living in is a deception. Who really is controlling the world? "They're the true embodiment of evil itself--as vicious and obvious as hydras if they have a knife in your back, as desperate and pathetically cowardly when they're cornered, and as friendly as anybody you would ever meet face to face, when they think you have power over them. Many of them are very intelligent and exceedingly clever and cunning in their own fashion. They're masterful liars, totally without peer or conscience. They're completely ruthless when it comes to executing their designs, as well as incredibly patient and intelligent in waiting for and recognizing the right time to make their strike." Built from the Bible story about The Tower of Babel this is an Orwell style science fiction techno thriller with a very slight twist of philosophy.
